Read this before you go on site!

For maximum control and convenience, install your camera with a

connection to the Internet via your NVR or through a local network

router. This allows you to use OvrC, a powerful remote maintenance

tool. See OvrC.com for details. In addition, your client can use the

Luma Surveillance mobile app to check on the camera from anywhere.

For installation using this guide, you must be able to access this

camera through a personal computer. If your surveillance system

is not on a network, you’ll have to use the NVR’s local interface for

installation. See the NVR user’s manual for details.

Additional Resources

You can acquire a PDF of the web interface manual and other

materials from the camera’s product page at SnapAV.com.

Precautions

Before you start, ensure that the device is in good condition and all

the assembly parts are included. Also ensure that your recorder has

the very latest ﬁrmware. Use OvrC to update the ﬁrmware, or consult

your NVR manual.

} Make sure that all equipment is powered off during installation.

} Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to hold three times

the weight of the camera and the mount.

} If the mounting surface is cement, use the included expansion

screws to install the camera. If mounting to a wood surface, use

self-tapping wood screws (not included) to secure the camera.

Installation with an NVR

If you are installing with an NVR, follow these instructions. Otherwise,

follow the instructions starting on the next page.

1. Ensure your NVR has the latest ﬁrmware. If it does not, your NVR

may be unable to locate and activate your camera.

1. Perform the physical installation of your camera by following the

instructions given on pages 12–17.

2. Plug your camera into your recorder. The NVR autodetects your

camera, activates it (giving it the same admin password that it has),

and assigns it an IP address.

3. Complete the installation using the instructions given in your

NVR manual. You do not need to continue using this guide. Where

possible, we recommend changing settings using your NVR.

4. Optional: This camera has a few features that are not available

on your NVR: line crossing and area intrusion. After completing

installation, see the camera’s web interface manual to set these up.

Install and Run the Luma Utility

Use the Luma Utility to locate your camera and set it up.

Visit your product page at SnapAV.com and download the

Luma Utility installer from the Support tab. You must use

v3.0.0.53 build 20170426 or later! Earlier versions of the

utility will not work!

Run the installer. You can click through and accept the defaults.

Pre-Installation Camera Conﬁguration

You’ll ﬁnd it easiest to connect the camera directly to your PC, making

most adjustments to the camera from the convenience of your table

(prior to physical installation), rather than from atop a ladder.

Connect the camera to your PC and run the Luma Utility.

It searches for attached Luma Surveillance devices. If your

camera does not appear, check the connection, ensure the

camera is powered up, then click the Refresh button.

Luma 500 Series Turret IP Camera

Activate the Camera

Click on the entry for your camera to view its details. If the camera

is inactive, use the text boxes at the lower right of the Luma utility

window to activate the camera by creating a new secure password.

} Passwords cannot be longer than 16 characters. To ensure

compatibility with the local interface, only use numbers, letters,

spaces, and the following special characters: . , : - /

} Use a password that is long and easy to remember. A password

like parisinthespring is more secure and easier to remember than

a password like D3x-7b.

Luma 500 Series Turret IP Camera

Edit the Network Settings

Suggested Best Practices: Ensure the Enable

DHCP box is activated. In your router, reserve

an IP address and assign it to the camera’s

MAC address (found on its box). See your

router’s documentation for details.

The HTTP port defaults to 80. It allows you

to access your camera through a web browser.

The server port defaults to 8000. The Luma

mobile application uses it to access the camera.

For security reasons, change your ports and

record the new numbers. Consult your manual

for reserved port numbers to avoid.

To conﬁrm changes, enter the password that

you just created and then click Save.

Luma 500 Series Turret IP Camera

Complete Port Forwarding

Port forwarding allows you to access the camera from the internet for

remote operations. These settings are entered in your network router,

typically in a menu called Port Forwarding or Applications and Gaming.

Refer to your router manual for help. Find the settings you need, then

Port Default New Value Protocol Camera IP Address

HTTP 80 TCP/UDP

Server 8000 TCP/UDP Admin Password

RTSP 554 TCP/UDP

Physical Installation

1. Drill pilot holes for your screws using the supplied template. Do not

drill too close to a wall, or you may not be able to attach the skirt.

2. CAUTION! Before terminating your RJ45 for an outdoor install, you

must weatherproof it! See the following pages for details.

3. Remove the skirt by gently twisting it clockwise as shown.

4. Loosen the locking screw on the base and move the locking tab out

of the way. Remove the camera body.

5. Secure the mounting base to the ceiling and with screws.

6. Attach power to the camera.

} If using PoE, attach the RJ45 cable to the connector.

} If using 12V DC, locate the red and black wire bundle. Attach the

hot line to the red wire, and the ground to the black wire.

7. Insert the camera into the mounting base and rotate it so the front of

the camera aims at the surveillance area. Reposition the locking tab,

and tighten the locking screw.

Adjust the Camera

The camera itself is mounted in a free-ﬂoating ball within the camera

body. This free-ﬂoating ball can be aimed freely. In addition, if the

locking screw is loosened slightly, the entire camera body can rotate.

1. If needed, loosen the locking screw slightly and rotate the camera

body as desired. Tighten the locking screw.

2. Taking care to avoid touching the camera’s lenses, aim the camera

in the direction desired. Ensure that the up indicator remains at the

top of the camera body.

3. Align the tabs on the skirt with the skirt notches in the mounting

base. Install the skirt over the base, then turn the skirt clockwise

until it clicks into place.

Set Up Dynamic DNS

DDNS allows you to connect to your surveillance

system from anywhere, via the Internet, using a

web address that’s easy to remember.

Click on the Settings Menu icon (page 16) and

navigate to Basic Network Settings > DDNS.

Click Enable DDNS, then choose a type from the

DDNS Type drop-down menu. We recommend

WirepathDDNS. Next, choose a server address.

We recommend ns2.wirepathdns.com.

Enter your desired domain in the Domain box.

This creates a personalized server address,

which is shown under Device URL. If someone

has already registered your desired domain, the

system adds two to four digits to your domain.

Luma 500 Series Turret IP Camera

Example: If you choose the

domain myhome, your system’s

custom URL would become

myhome.wirepathdns.com. If

someone already had claimed

the myhome URL, then your

system’s URL would look like

myhome13.wirepathdns.com.

If you changed your HTTP port

(see page 11), add a colon and

the port number to the URL

(e.g., myhome.wirepathdns.com:8402).

NOTE: All your network devices now use this same DNS (with

appropriate port numbers)!

Click Save to ﬁnalize the settings.

Add Additional Users

Click on User Management.

Click the Add button. Enter the new account’s user name and

password. Account names can be up to 32 characters long. If you are

using an NVR, to ensure compatibility with the NVR’s local interface,

user names should contain numbers and letters only.

We recommend that you add accounts by individual users’ names, so

that you always know which user is involved with any activity.

Passwords cannot be longer than 16 characters. To ensure compatibility

with the NVR’s local interface, passwords can only contain numbers,

letters, spaces, and the following special characters: . , : - /

Choose the account’s level. There are two levels for users: operator and

user. The only difference is the default permissions they are given.

You can customize permissions for each account individually. See

the camera web interface manual (available online on your camera’s

product page) for more details.
